I'm thinking of buying a set of these chinese wheels. But I'm not sure about spoketype + number, and hubs. I'm certain I want Archteks 20mm, but SP or J-B spokes? I'm looking at the bikehubstore.com hubs:

I finnally got around to signing up for the forum after lurking for a few months. I Would like a set of the hoops, but I am unsure of what size i should get. 50mm or 88mm? The front hub will be dt swiss 240 straight pull with cx-rays. I am looking at a 20/24 build. I am a big guy so I don't imagine more side force from the wind will be that big of a deal percentage wise. My current front wheel is 1400 grams with tire. I will be moving to the dark side and using tubulars. I am hoping to shave some weight off my total setup.-David

your current clincher wheelset is 1400 gr with tire include??!! if this is right i don't know how you can go lower than that even with tubular wheel, need sub 1000gr(with 50 to 88mm this is hard) wheelset and sub 400gr tire+glue
